Chapter 191: A Servant Serving Servant
When Yan Wan heard Hongli talking about Empress Xian, she deliberately turned down the corners of her mouth, and her mouth looked so greasy that it looked like a bottle of oil could be hung on it.
Hongli said with a smile: "See, you don't want to do this. I said I won't force you two to get along well."
Yan Wan instantly smiled like a flower: "I know that the emperor loves me the most."
She reached out and hugged Hongli's thin waist.
Chunchan in the room and Jinzhong at the door all retreated silently and stood guard at the door.
Hongli pinched the soft flesh on her face and said, "You are going to be my mother, but you are still acting like a little girl."
Yan Wan was a little embarrassed: "I just... I just miss the emperor too much."
She buried her face in his chest and whispered softly, "I sometimes wake up from dreams, always afraid that such a good day will be less and less."
Hongli could hear her fear and stroked her hair, "You are already eight months pregnant. In another month or so, the baby will be born. The queen has already found the most experienced midwife for you.
I personally went to ask that nanny questions and checked her family background. I can see that she is honest and capable. Her family is simple. She broke up with her husband early in life and only has one daughter. I have taken good care of her and will not allow anyone to bribe her. "
Yan Wan was stunned for a moment, and a person's name flashed through her mind: "What's her name?"
Hongli smiled and said, "I personally sent her to you today. She will naturally know that I value you. You can meet her."
Yan Wan was pleasantly surprised and said, "I have caused Your Majesty so much trouble! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hongli patted the back of her hand happily and called Jinzhong: "Go and call in the midwife and the wet nurse."
After a while, Jinzhong led people in.
The woman leading the group was neatly dressed and had a fair face. She was an acquaintance who couldn't be more familiar - the midwife who was bribed by her in the previous life and who rubbed Ruyi's belly, Grandma Tian.
"I, the midwife Tian, pay my respects to His Majesty, Empress Lingfei!"
The rest of the people followed suit and paid their respects, and reported their identities.
Yan Wan heard several familiar names, all of whom were skilled deliverers who had delivered her babies in her previous life.
But who she cared about most was always Grandma Tian.
This life is completely different from the previous one. Ruyi is just a concubine, and she is alienated from the emperor and is suspected by the emperor. Although she has some ghostly luck, she is not the empress dowager after all. Even if she gives birth to a child, with her temperament, she cannot raise a crown prince.
Therefore, there is really no need to waste a talent like Grandma Tian on Ruyi.
I have a special physique and it is too easy for me to get pregnant. If I take good care of Grandma Tian, it will definitely be of great benefit to my future childbirth and recovery.
Yan Wan looked at Grandma Tian and the others tenderly and said, "Everyone, please get up. From now on, I and the child will be handed over to you."
Everyone hurriedly said they didn't dare.
Yan Wan smiled and looked at Chun Chan: "Take Grandma Tian and the others to live in the back hall. Make sure they are settled well. If anyone's family encounters any difficulties, you must ask clearly and help if you can. If you can't help, come and tell me."
Chunchan responded respectfully: "Yes!"
She led everyone out, settled them down in the backyard one by one, and then took out their heavy purses one by one.
Especially Grandma Tian, she was surprised by the weight of the thing.
Chunchan said softly, "Grandma Tian, our master is weak. If there is anything that needs attention, please don't be afraid of the trouble and tell me so that we can make adjustments immediately."
Grandma Tian quickly responded: "Miss, you are too polite. I will tell you everything I know!"
After Chunchan left, she closed the door, opened her purse and was immediately dazzled by the golden, round little ingots inside.
In the main hall, Yanwan grabbed Hongli's sleeve and showed him the big characters she had written one by one, asking him for his guidance.
Hongli originally just came to see her, and sent along Granny Tian and the others as a warning to the concubines in the harem not to make any moves. Unexpectedly, he was attracted by Yan Wan unknowingly, and began to teach her with great interest.
By the time he reacted, it was already dark outside.
Seeing Yanwan holding his wrist with a look of attachment on her face, Hongli swallowed the words that were about to leave when they came to his lips.
Yan Wan looked at him eagerly: "Your Majesty, I am hungry."
Hongli asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"
Yan Wan's eyes curved, "I want to eat hotpot, hot and spicy, and a mushroom soup, with thin slices of mutton, fresh and crispy vegetables, and soft and chewy wide noodles..."
She couldn't help swallowing as she announced her name.
Hongli was obviously not very hungry, but he was tempted by her appearance. He turned to look at the servants in the room and said, "Did you hear your master's request? Hurry up and serve the meal!"
Jinzhong stepped forward and said softly, "There are not many people in the kitchen right now. I will go."
Hongli nodded: "Go ahead."
Yan Wan followed Hongli's gaze and looked at Jinzhong: "Eunuch Jinzhong, ask the kitchen to make some more herbal tea, don't let the emperor get a sore throat."
She openly admired Jinzhong in his red dragon robe. The bright red color made his skin look even brighter, making him look more like a noble prince. It was very pleasing to her eyes.
Jinzhong responded respectfully: "Yes, I will remember it."
After waiting for a while and hearing no other instructions, he backed out the door.
When he walked into the night, he swallowed his dry throat and let out a helpless and drunken chuckle.
His master is really capable of taking his life.
He watched carefully as the people in the imperial kitchen prepared the food, and checked each one to make sure it was non-toxic and contained no incompatible substances. Only then did he lead his people back to Yongshou Palace.
On the way, we met Sanbao who came to get some snacks.
Jinzhong stopped and glanced at him frivolously through a pair of fox eyes, first looking at his face and then at his legs: "I remember that you were still receiving the salary of a high eunuch."
Sanbao hung his head and said, "Yes, the chief steward is not mistaken."
Jinzhong chuckled: "Why? As the chief steward of Yikun Palace, you actually need to get your own food?"
San Bao's face twisted for a moment: "...These are all the master's orders. If the chief steward wants to know the details, why not go to Yikun Palace and ask our Master Xian?"
Jinzhong sneered: "I don't have the time. What's the point of you, a servant who serves servants, telling you so much?"
After he said that, he left with his men in a mighty procession.
Sanbao hid in the darkness, shaking with anger and his face full of resentment.
Although Jinzhong is a bit mean, what he said is not wrong.
Now, isn't he just a servant serving servants? !
As the chief steward of Yikun Palace, he actually has to listen to Ling Yunche in everything and serve Ling Yunche! He also has to take care of Ling Yunche's shit and urine!
Now, he even has to get Ling Yunche's food, because Empress Xian is afraid that Concubine Ling will murder Ling Yunche, so he is also responsible for testing poison on Ling Yunche!
Poison testing!
It's already good enough that he didn't poison Ling Yunche, okay? !
